    I've been playing music for about 15 years but I'm just getting into recording my own music. This video is such a huge help however subtle the change may be it's exactly the things I need to learn right now. Thanks again bud!

    Hey man, thanks for making such an excellent video. I've been making music for around 5 years now and only just decided to learn to master. Very helpful. I hope you get a lot more recognition. I liked the song in the background, by the way. Made me dig for your bandcamp

    PHENOMENAL LESSONS! This is worth its weight in gold. I use a Kemper Profiling Amp worth around 2.000$ and a pretty mid-tier acoustic-electric and when I record some already awesome tones I WAS STUNNED when I learned that I could actually DRAMATICALLY change the overall sound of the GUITAR ITSELF and the tone by following this guide. You have opened up not a single door but the steel vault bomb safe hack-proof door that stood between me the artist and the world of possibilities to actually record something on my own and publish it, my many different hats off to you! Thanks!!

    • @Audiohackr
      @Audiohackr  6 років тому +1

      Thanks for watching! This is really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mastering. The goal here is to just get your songs sounding a bit more polished before your share them! If you want to see how the pros do it check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/eQF8ORNJYbk/v-deo.html showing Joe Lambert doing his thing. If you're interested in getting more detailed info about doing it yourself, check out Ian Shepherd's channel: ua-cam.com/users/masteringmedia. Cheers!!!

  • @Microtonal_Cats
    @Microtonal_Cats 5 років тому +8

    Good stuff.
    Also, can do all this on a stereo mix down instead of on the master track.
    That can be advantageous: less memory use, quicker renders, and also forces you to mix with that in mind, to where you don't think "I can just fix the mix if the master isn't right."
